For this case we must algebraically rewrite the given expression. So:
x: It is the variable that represents an unknown number
"double a number" is represented as: 
"6 less than double a number" is represented as: 
So, the final expression is: 
If we want to rewrite the expression in an equivalent way, we take common factor 2:

Asnwer:

Equivalent expression: 
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
R(0,0)
A=((0+2a)/2,(0+2b)/2)=(a,b)
S(2a,2b)
B=((2a+2c)/2,(2b+2d)/2)=(a+c,b+d)
T(2c,2d)
C=((2c+2c)/2,(2d+0)/2)=(2c,d)
V(2c,0)
D=((2c+0)/2,(0+0)/2)=(c,0)
R(0,0)
slope of AB=(b+d-b)/(a+c-a)=d/c
slope of DC=(d-0)/(2c-c)=d/c
slope of AD=(0-b)/(c-a)=-b/(c-a)
slope of BC=(d-b-d)/(2c-a-c)=-b/(c-a)
